She collided with a turning car and landed 130 meters after the scene of the accident in the ditch. The result: two injured, three demolished vehicles.
At around 12.35 p.m., the 56-year-old Südoststeirein overtook the truck on Berndorferstrasse, which was driven by a 39-year-old Leibnitzer. She collided with the car of a 55-year-old who was just turning onto the main road.
The 55-year-old’s car was thrown to the side, while that of the 56-year-old was pushed against the truck.
